+
+## Visualisation
+
+Use [OSINTracker](https://app.osintracker.com/) to visualise your findings.
+It allows you to create a graph of your findings, which can help you see connections and relationships between different pieces of information.
+
+## Forgotten passwords
+
+To find email addresses and phone numbers associated with an account, you can click on "Forgot password?" on the login page of a website. Be careful, though, this creates notifications and can be detected by the target, and often gives your information away.
+
+## Archive Search
+
+- [Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org) stores over 618 billion web captures
+- [Archive.ph](https://archive.ph) creates on-demand snapshots, including for JS-heavy sites, with both a functional page and screenshot version
+
+## Google Cache
+
+Google keeps a cached version of most indexed pages. Access it with the `cache:` operator:
+
+```
+cache:example.com
+cache:example.com/page
+```
+
+If the page has been taken down or modified, the cached version may still show the original content.
+
+## Domain History
+
+[VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com) shows the historical DNS records, subdomains, and associated IPs for any domaint useful when a site has moved or been taken down.
+
+[ViewDNS.info](https://viewdns.info) covers WHOIS history, reverse IP, reverse MX, and port scans from a single interface.
